I think some brands command a premium (sf, maybe knights), but you are paying extra for the mouting system and testing IMO.
For the market as a whole, when you price stuff out, this claim falls on its face.
Titanium tubes are not cheap
Ti or even 17-4 cones are not cheap
Welding these into a can are not cheap
Cnc machining the baffles are not cheap
Yes, you can make a $100 steel tube, but it will be loud, and heavy. Al wont last long and will be heavier than a Ti silencer.
To make a decent can, you’ll likely spend significantly more than off the shelf prices. I was looking to form1 a can and saw yhm prices... cheaper, lighter, welded (not screwed together).
Its not just a tube.
If they are so cheap to make, why not undercut the market with your own solution? Am I missing something?
The people that make this claim are almost always idiots who can't afford one in the first place or have no intention of ever buying one.
